Document Summary
Last class: started learning about confucianism and basic concepts have the same meaning. This text is a translation; words we translate into english won"t always each case. Both the republic and confucian text talk about virtue, but different in characteristic (of people/fulfilling needs well) 2. 1 virtue seems like a goal / overarching picture (confucius) vs. good power. Confucius text seems to be about presence and somebody"s. Plato text - virtue enables it to a function to enable it to perform well. De (somebody"s power given the normative rights and obligations) we have to show up for class or we"ll have repercussions. Professor has de in which he assign grades; we have de so doing. The whole society will revolve around the ruler. Be suspicious of what the particular words are. Professor ramsey recommends when reading, flag parts you don"t understand, don"t seem clear to you. Go back to back of the book and look for the term.
